Angina presents as a tight, squeezing, or burning sensation in the chest, usually triggered by exercise, emotional stress, or after meals. It may radiate to the arms, neck, jaw, or back. Stable angina occurs in predictable patterns, while unstable angina can appear suddenly and may signal a higher risk of heart attack.
Medications such as Glyceryl Trinitrate (GTN) spray work by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, allowing more oxygen to reach the heart and quickly relieving pain. Long-term management may involve beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, or statins to reduce the workload on the heart and improve blood flow.
A licensed prescriber will review your medical history, current treatment, and symptoms to ensure that any new angina treatment is appropriate and safe.
GTN spray is used at the onset of chest pain or before activities that may trigger angina. It acts quickly—often within minutes—and is easy to carry and administer. If symptoms persist after use, emergency medical attention may be needed.
Lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, adopting a heart-healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight, and regular gentle exercise play a crucial role in managing angina and improving cardiovascular health.
